OculiX is a visual automation platform that controls graphical interfaces by recognising images and text displayed on the screen.
It can automate native desktop applications, virtual desktops, browser-based interfaces and workflows spanning multiple applications without relying on DOM selectors, accessibility hooks or XPath expressions.
The software provides an integrated development environment and a JVM-based scripting environment. It supports Linux, macOS and Windows.
This is free and open source software.
